Witkoff met with Putin on Aug. 6, and a day later held a call with several European leaders detailing the plan which would see Ukraine ceding full control of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts in return.

Four U.S. and European officials speaking anonymously to Reuters said that many participants on the call were caught off guard and were “startled” at the proposal as they had different expectations of Putin’s intentions.

The next day, on Aug. 8, Witkoff reversed his stance. According to one of the sources, during a call organized by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio with European national security advisers, Witkoff clarified that Putin was not offering to withdraw from Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts.

Reuters also reports that Witkoff — a real estate mogul with no previous diplomatic experience — went to the meeting with Putin without a U.S. State Department notetaker, thus breaking standard protocol and not having a record of Putin’s proposals.

The level of utter stupidity and incompetence continues to astound me.

The comments are freaking hilarious.

I like that they brought their sandwich shields.

Exactly.

Michael Phelps’s height, wingspan, and large hands and feet give him an advantage in swimming. His body also produces less lactic acid than his rivals, which shortens his recovery time. However, his success is also due to his dedication and hard work.

If they want everything “equal” then an athlete like Phelps should be taking drugs to raise the lactic acid in his system.

AOC and Bernie should break off, start a new party and call it the Social Democrats … if for no other reason than that is what they espouse – a socially-conscious mandate that the government is to be there for the people, not the other way around.

While grue may have said it rude and crude, they aren’t wrong.

The longer people mill about waiting for someone else to lead them - vs organizing, preparing, etc themselves - allows Trump and his syncophants more time to settle into power.

Wait too long and Americans miss their chance to shut this shit down.

Prove it!

Hellfire’s bitch.

Who do I trust?

A lying asswipe who wouldn’t know the truth if it slapped him in his orange face?

A man I don’t know that has been sent to a foreign nation’s prison for no reason?

Easy choice.

I can still dream.

I dream of this actually happening.

This is why I am physically unable to listen to him speak. He just meanders around his sick little brain garden, making no sense at all, but pretending his words are thee most profound thing uttered since God spoke to Moses.

The more orange his face gets, the whiter his hair looks.

It’s the bleach effect.

He should be calling for an investigation into bombing Yemen.

Even so, slowly and constantly (committing genocide) over 30 years is better than devastation over 30 months.

I don’t even have the words for how insanely fucked up this mindset is.
